Good point.  Private Ryan would not work on stage.  In film the camera is a 
character and impacts the entire "theatrical" experience.  And that's the 
biggest difference between film and theatre.

 lot of money.  So audience membesr were surprised to find out that WWII 
 included some real bloody moments.  Shocking.  
 Without the cinematic flair, I think "Private Ryan"-the play, would show 
 us in glaring detail just how thin that plot and those characters really 
 were. >>
